The school’s eighth grade students attended the ceremony as part of learning about the government and the citizenship process.

During the ceremony, students sang the national anthem and lead the new citizens in the Pledge of Allegiance. The school orchestra played “America the Beautiful.” At the conclusion of the event, the students presented gifts to the new citizens.

This event is part of USCIS’ annual celebration of Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. More than 18,000 people will become U.S. citizens during approximately 180 naturalization ceremonies across the country from September 16 to September 23.
